Dota 2 General - /d2g/

I did it lads. I finally figured out why the west is so shit at Dota. It's because it's an inherently communist game.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"
This means everyone must try as hard as they can, but they only get what they need. Supports get little, carries just get it all. Contrast this with capitalism, where everyone competes with eachother, and the best ends up on top. If this were the case, carries and supports would compete for last hits with eachother, and the one who gets least would naturally become a support.

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW

>off topic
>OP pic are DOTA pros
fucking /u/ being retarded once again

for a second i thought about Veeky Forums's /owg/
mmh

...

Do /u/ and /y/ have a legit rivalry or fake rivalry?

>9 games played today
>not a single win
>every single one was -24
legitimately crying right now, this is so utter fucking bullshit

legit fake rivalry

stop playing games verguenza

How was your last game d2g?
I was the Sniper. I love to hate games like this, from minute 3 Axe and Night just tried to gangbang me under tower.
I eventually left lane and just farmed the hard radiant camp by ancients and the two medium camps at the entrance to radiant jungle when it was safe.

Died like 8 times in the first 20 minutes but managed to get a few kills to get my pike and be a cancerous high ground defender until we finally won.

They're actually totally different despite what it sounds like. /u/ as a board is much, much more romance and story focused than /y/ is, which is almost all porn. I mean if they have a rivalry it's probably more about romance vs sex as a subject instead of lesbians vs gays as the object.

12 more hours until e-sports.

Why not blog a bit?

>queue for another game
>it's another -24 game
what are painless ways to kill myself?

Show me the items and the k/d

Actually fuck, invite me I wanna party up with you to see how bad the trench is. I calibrated at 1.7 but immediately climbed to like 2.5, so I barely remember how shit sub 2k was.

Haven't played or followed the scene in half a year, what's new ingame and in the pro scene?

nothing and nobody

the older he gets the cutest he becomes

I think it actually has more to do with the lack of people playing on USE right now.

Match wasn't a particularity interesting one either. Ive seen bizzare cheese builds like euls rush sniper that seem to thrive on players with shit fundamentals like me.

Actual new thread that won't be deleted due to gay porn / off-topic image

puppey was the team cancer all along

Nigga give up you were too slow too bad so sad.

You're in the wrong and you know it, our OP is both Dota 2 related and not porn. I hope you get banned for even TRYING to start a threadwar.

never forget

Why does Valve keep hosting tournaments in the US when it is dead in there.

A Chinese, European and/or Russian major would make much more sense

by that logic valve should host TI in peru

Is Boston Major the biggest fuck up of a DOTA 2 tournament?

Everything we know about it so far makes it look like a fucking disaster - like single elimination tournament DIRECTLY after reshuffle season or the fact that previous Major, then TI and now this are on same patch (Dead game?)

...

What are you talking about, this sounds like the ultimate test of survival and skill.

>You get 60k just for showing up even if you don't win a single game.

I would like a Manila Major again tbqh since they actually cheer whatever team is in the stage and not brood when their home crowd team gets eliminated

kek, fucking US audience is so shit

A soulless greed-driven venue is ideal for helping Chinese players feel at home.

reminder that CLQ dumpstered EE with his pudge

God yes. Manila and even the ESL Manila that preceded it were so refreshingly enthusiastic and loving that it's where TI should be hosted from now on.

what if Valve hosted ti7 in brazil

i cant fall asleep and it starts in 6 hours..any advice on how to fall +asleep?

What do I do for 5 hours?

Masturbate furiously until your tired

this desu

...

CLQ also carried fear to 7k and dumpstered rtz.
Also, since he stopped trolling and played exclusively on new account, he only plays very high skill

VHS is like 3,5k - 3,7k, it's not really indicative of anything

which opening matches will you watch today, doturds?
VP vs NP is the only good tier

see

neurons fired

when is best team playing? EG

Yeah, Valve needs to update what is considered Normal, HS and VHS. 3.2k and 3.8k (or whatever it is) are definitely not it.

VHS should be only VHS so 7000MMR and higher.

High skill should probably start at 6000MMR and last for 7000MMR.

Normal skill should probably be from 4800 MMR to 6000MMR.

Stupid faggot should be anything below 5000MMR

or what if valve fixed mmr inflation

how can they fix MMR inflation?

There is no MMR inflation unless you are 8000MMR or higher. There are already plenty of 7000MMR and higher average matches.

You are just below dog shit skill that should delete dota

VP can't play EG until much later in the tournament. For now you'll just have to watch the best team play NP.

9k pro detected.

>Watching NP

slacks got 5k+ by spamming omni, how is it not mmr inflation you faggot or carry only faggots spamming OP heroes and getting easily 7k+ but performing like a 2k when they play support

total mmr reset

Did you not see that everything below 5000MMR is a stupid faggot tier

You are a stupid faggot.

>there is no MMR inflation

???

Do you not remember when the highest MMR players were 5.5k MMR? Then valve adjusted the threshold for MMR changes so people with 5.5k would stop getting +5MMR and bitching.

Now we have 9k MMR players.

I think you underestimate just how bad 2k is lad.

Yeah, I don't know why DotA 2 doesn't have a seasonal ladder. Every other competitive game does it that way.

and there are already plenty of 7000 mmr average games in Europe/North America.

Just that the maybe 0,00001% of dotaplayers like RTZ, Matu can experience some sort of mmr inflation doesn't mean it covers the entire system

fucking stupid faggot

>what did he mean by this?
I'm indeed a stupid faggot
maybe

So you have zero reading comprehension

So you can't respond to me? Fucking stupid faggot. You are below 5000MMR I can tell.

>Mek total MMR reset.
>Now the same players that were at top MMRs are again at top MMRs
>Only now they have to carry literal brain dead retards every "season"
Yeah no

No, they just need to make people lose MMR if they don't play ranked for x time, with it progressing slowly to their hidden MMR.

Drow Ranger here with a friendly reminder that I am the best waifu ever, and if you do not pick me and at least 3 other ranged heroes on your team I will laugh at you

New cosmetic:

Cosmetic MMR. For $1 you can buy 10 MMR. You can buy as many as you'd like. Might finally give Valve the money needed to fund Half Life 3.

Thoughts?

>New hats hide actual spell effects like Abba's shield.

very nice ebin Valve... very nice

Jesus fuck, invisible, unpurgeable track is the worst thing ever. No wonder it's not in normal dota.

rough image of MMR inflation
left is how it used to be, right is what we have now

the only thing it does is increase queue times, give larger MMR differences in averages (i.e. an unbalanced match), and makes it easier for people to create a buffer where no matter how many games they lose they can just spam a fotm hero to regain their MMR quickly.

it saddens me how valve has defiled the elo system as a cheap tool to increase player grinding instead of using it as a tool to measure player skill

3rd party DotA server/client software when?

Oh no, RTZ and Matu have to play 2000 points below their MMR this surely means that you the 3000 mmr shitcan are suffering from it too.

delete dota you are shit

>rough image

More than just a little rough, you're implying no one used to be above 4k. If you think that mmr isn't a accurate depiction of player skill, why haven't you joined a pro team you 2k cunt

good argument, pretty sure they won't care since match quality has not improved at all with MMR inflation just long as fuck queue times to the point where they have to make smurfs to actually play the game

I wish Drow was my mom things would be much different around here

>no one believes in mvp
OKAY MOTHER FUCKERS GUESS WHAT
1. FOREV
2. QO
3. MOTHER FUCKIN VELO
4. FEBBY
5. DUBU

TELL ME THIS LINEUP ISNT SWAG AS FUCK WHO IS WINNING THE BOSTON MAJOR

You can't even post your MMR because you know it. I know it. This thread knows.

You are shit. You are probably in the account buyer MMR or god forbid even lower and absolute garbage at the game.

i absolutely must know where this gif is from
I NEED THIS CM IN MY LIFE

>2. QO
>3. MOTHER FUCKIN VELO
Aren't both of these dudes Australia? How is that balanced?

>tfw to intelligence to play Dota

I would argue that ALL e-sports are dead in the US, a paradox when most competitive games are made here.

People here are more willing to get tickets to see highschool sports rather than international e-sports. Local e-sports in the US is tiny compared to other countries like china and korea.

what are you talking about, the old mmr line stops at 5.5k. I didn't state that 2k players are secretly 9k players, I stated that the difference between a 7k and 9k player is comparable to the difference between a 4k and 5k player in the old system.

started from 3.6k in the old system and then easily got 5k in this inflated system.

You guys are making out as if I'm ooga posting or something when in reality I just want better quality games.

Which region?

Nigga you literal stupid fuck I can go to any profile and take a screenshot too.

yea its op as shit

>FEBBY and 2 literal WHOs
>winning any LAN ever

user you really know how to make a girl laugh...

usperu

Not like it matters both regions have the same MMR inflation issues
>but but EU has more players and more a higher skill ceiling
It's way easier to gain MMR where there are more players because it means the MMR averages of games will be closer. Then you also have the fact that the EU region didn't break the upper MMR limit that the other regions had either until valve changed the MMR system.

>Wake up
>It's Boston Major day.

...

Someone cares about Esports?

Considering the last major before TI was played ons ame patch

it seems like Valve does not care

who is a who on this squad?
